/ 2022 / … The Wagner Family (Full Film) | Tony Palmer Films
SUBSCRIBE: / @tonypalmerfilms3262 This is a film about a family, a family which has ruled the theatre in Bayreuth in southern Germany for the last 150 years, some say still the greatest theatre in the world.There’s no doubt that Richard Wagner, who built it, was the most influential composer in the whole 19th century. The story of this family is a soap opera that makes Coronation Street look like Noddy-in-Toyland. But his family has survived by a mixture of lies, deception, fraud and dangerous political alliances. It’s a family – in many ways the Royal family of Germany – at war with itself. “No-one makes better films about musicians than Tony Palmer” – David Chater, The Times Directed & Edited by TONY PALMER Sound recorded by BERNARD JIRA & mixed by LANCE ENGLAND Digital Editor DAVID HUGHES Photographed by FELIX BAUER, LAWRENCE BOND, ETIENNE HAUSEL On-Line Editor MILES CLENNELL
